Gilbert MainesYes Brian, certainly Maddux is in this equation too. Not many even make it to 330! And he has just a little edge on age.
And it sure would be good to see the Rocket (or Maddux) make a run at 373. But Im with Barry - highly unlikely. I remember Early Wynn struggling to notch his 300th in the early '60s. After several tries he finished up the seasaon ('61 0r '62, or thereabouts) with 299. Then the following season he had a couple of no decisions sandwiched around losses - til he finally made it, then quit. Everyone was pulling for him, but it was a long haul.
The point being: the fat lady does sing. And you can't tell exactly when.
